Bulgaria
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | Check your local public television station for this Rick Steves’ Europe episode or watch it on Bulgaria, so mysterious to most Americans, has a vivid identity as a crossroads of the Balkans. We'll trace the country's complex history, from ancient Thracian tombs to medieval Orthodox Christian monasteries to Soviet monuments. And we'll enjoy an intimate taste of contemporary culture: the yellow brick road of Sofia; the gregarious craftspeople of the medieval capital, Veliko Tarnovo; and the thriving pedestrian zones of cosmopolitan Plovdiv.

FOOD & THINGS TO DO IN SOFIA CENTER | Sightseeing in the city | Bulgaria Travel Vlog
Sofia city center has some incredible food, things to do, sightseeing and attractions to see. This travel vlog shows Bulgaria and it's food... ⬇ Click 'Show More' ⬇
Sophia aka Sofia, is the largest city in Bulgaria and home to some amazing buildings, history and attractions. The city center is the best place to start on your sightseeing hunt and covers a good amount of the best things to do and what to see in Sofia.
Bulgarian food is incredible, but our priority was the traditional Bulgarian breakfast for the purpose of this vlog! Bulgaria has some delicious cuisine, but any country that eats dessert for breakfast is high on our list of things we have to try! Mekitsa in Sofia was a must taste! They call it food, we call it dessert :)
Bulgaria is an easy place to make a travel vlog, city centers like in Sophia make our job easy with deciding what to see. For the most part, the city offers incredible buildings, churches, ancient ruins and age old structures. To really tackle the larger things to do in Sofia you probably need to get out of the city and venture deeper into Bulgaria as a whole. In upcoming travel vlogs we'll also show the other main attractions a few hours away, known as top sightseeing stops, to add some contrast to the concrete of the city along with more food where we can.
Stay tuned for more Bulgaria and Sofia vlogs from in and around the city including a free food tour coming soon.

Free Sofia walking tour, Bulgaria
The free English-language sightseeing walking tour of Bulgaria's capital, organised by a non-profit organisation. A pleasant two hours walk in Sofia, city with more than 6000 years of history balanced between east and west, old and new. hidden architectonical beauty in the Balkan peninsula.
SOFIA - Bulgaria Travel Guide | Around The World
Sofia (Bulgarian: София) is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria. 1.3 million people live in the city and 1.7 million people live in its metropolitan area. The city is at the foot of Vitosha Mountain in the western part of the country. Being in the centre of the Balkan peninsula, it is midway between the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea, and closest to the Aegean Sea.
Sofia has been an area of human habitation since at least 7000 BC. Being Bulgaria's primate city, Sofia is a hometown of many of the major local universities, cultural institutions and commercial companies. Sofia is one of the top 10 best places for start-up business in the world, especially in information technologies. Sofia was Europe's most affordable capital to visit in 2013.
Sofia is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Bulgaria alongside coastal and mountain resorts. Among its highlights is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, one of the symbols of Bulgaria, constructed in the late 19th century. It occupies an area of 3,170 square metres (34,122 square feet) and can hold 10,000 people.
Sofia holds Bulgaria's largest museum collections, which attract tourists and students for practical studies. The National Historical Museum in Boyana district has a vast collection of more than 650,000 historical items dating from Prehistory to the modern era, although only 10,000 of them are permanently displayed due to the lack of space. Smaller collections of items related mostly to the history of Sofia are in the National Archaeological Museum, a former mosque located between the edifices of the National Bank and the Presidency. Two natural sciences museums — the Natural History Museum and the Earth and Man — display minerals, animal species (alive and taxidermic) and rare materials. The Ethnographic Museum and the National Museum of Military History are other places of interest, holding large collections of Bulgarian folk costumes and armaments, respectively.
Vitosha Boulevard, also called Vitoshka, is a pedestrian zone with numerous cafés, restaurants, fashion boutiques, and luxury goods stores. Sofia's geographic location, in the foothills of the weekend retreat Vitosha mountain, further adds to the city's specific atmosphere.
The city has an extensive green belt. Some of the neighbourhoods constructed after 2000 are densely built up and lack green spaces. There are four principal parks – Borisova gradina in the city centre and the Southern, Western and Northern parks. Several smaller parks, among which the Zaimov Park, City Garden and the Doctors' Garden, are located in central Sofia. The Vitosha Nature Park (the oldest national park in the Balkans) includes most of Vitosha mountain and covers an area of 266 square kilometres (103 sq mi),[88] with roughly half of it lying within the municipality of Sofia. Vitosha Mountain is a popular hiking destination due to its proximity and ease of access via car and public transport. Two functioning cable cars provide year long access from the outskirts of the city. The mountain offers favourable skiing conditions during the winter when multiple ski slopes of various difficulty are made available. Access to the ski slopes is regulated, they are maintained daily and health and safety personnel are available to assist in case of injury. Skiing passes typically allow unlimited access to the ski slopes, cable cars and other transport facilities. Skiing equipment can be rented and skiing lessons are available.

Our first thoughts on SOFIA BULGARIA
#SofiaBulgaria #Bulgaria #Firstimpressions
What is Sofia, Bulgaria like?! This is our first time in Bulgaria and we headed to the city centre to explore...⇩⇩Click ‘show more’⇩⇩
This was our first week in Bulgaria and already we feel like it's off to a great start! Sofia is clean, walkable, affordable, and easy to get around. There seem to be so many different restaurants and places to explore here. We are really enjoying the food, it tastes good and it doesn’t break the bank to eat out either. The public transport is everywhere, you can easily catch a bus or a train for only 0.90 cents one way.
The locals here are friendly and although they use Cyrillic predominantly, you will find things written in English and many people speak English here too!

Hey there, my name is Lana Tiare,
I come from the north of New Zealand.
I made the decision to quit my job as a nurse to go travelling abroad. I enjoy slow travel and experiencing local life & culture. Travelling can be hard when you don't have the information you need. My vlogs will show you my experiences as a full-time traveller, and hopefully, give you some insight into becoming a digital nomad.

We took the Istanbul - Sofia express to start our Bulgaria series, ending our time in Turkey.
